Ingredients
 
 

  • 1.10 lb frozen udon or fresh udon or wonton noodles
  • ½ lb char siu thinly sliced
  • 1 green onion finely chopped for garnishing
  • 2 cups baby bok choy washed & sliced into half
  • 1 cup bean sprouts washed & strained

Broth

  • 4 cups chicken broth low-sodium (or sub with beef broth or mushroom broth)
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • ½ tablespoon regular soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 green onion finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, soak frozen udon noodles in hot boiling water for 30 seconds until loosened. Strain immediately. Divide between two serving bowls.
  • In a medium size pot, add the broth ingredients as listed above. Mix, cover and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Then reduce to medium heat.
  • Add the bok choy and bean sprouts into the broth and blanch until both ingredients are softened and remove them using a slotted spoon or tongs, about 1-3 minutes. Divide the bok choy and bean sprouts between the noodle bowls.
  • Reheat the leftover sliced char siu in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or simply blanch the sliced pieces in the hot broth for 30-60 seconds until hot and place equal portions on top of the noodle bowls.
  • Lastly, pour equal portions of the broth into each noodle bowl. Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
